So here it is: your very own eternal ring of fire. Feel free to hang here anytime and share your thoughts and links to your heart’s content.
The mic is yours, the stage is yours – everything and nothing here is yours heh. Think of it as visiting a garden of knowledge and delight. Or think of it as an asylum where the doctors have left the building. Think of it even as a quaint refuge or as a goddamn inconsequential hellhole. So long as you’re ‘thinking’, then that’s all that matters.
Enjoy your life and your freedom of speech!

Allinson is correct that the improvised rockets he calls Volcanoes each contained about fifty litres of sarin, but wrong in his claim that they were fired from a regime-held area ‘to the north’. These claims are not original, but repeat those of Eliot Higgins, a blogger who, although he has been widely quoted as an expert in the American mainstream media, has changed his facts every time new technical information has challenged his conclusion that the Syrian government must have been responsible for the sarin attack. In addition, the claims that Higgins makes that are correct are all derived from our findings, which have been transmitted to him in numerous exchanges.

Do you have any Prince stories?
Nope – no personal encounters with his Royal Purpleness. But I know musicians who’ve met him and never a bad word they’ve said about him.
